The ability to extract accomplishments and show them in a report format with graphs included would be superb. After all this is a project management system to be able to manage and report success or challenges.

The desktop app and phones don't seem to be syncing the same information. I have activity on my phone app that is not showing up on the desktop app even after logging off and back on. A co-worker and I were testing the apps on Wednesday but the activity did not show up on our phones (1 iphone & 1 android Samsung note 8) until Friday morning. That same activity did not load at all on the desktop app.

Allow expanding just the last few comments in a thread, rather than always expanding the whole thing. A thread w/ ~200 replies takes 4-5 seconds to expand completely saturating 1 CPU core and then requires scrolling down through it all to get to the recent replies. This is particularly inconvenient if you are frequently switching channels or between Team view and Chat view as all threads are repopulated collapsed whenever you return to a channel.

We should be able to expand only the unread messages or 20 or so at a time.

Improve Chat. 1) make status more visible... show words, not just a colored dot. 2) separate conversations so it's not just one long chat. so that each conversation is unique and independent. 3) default to 'Contacts' not 'Most Recent'. 4) allow each conversation, and the contact list, to be a pop out window so you can have multiple conversations at once and still see them all 5) separate the contact list from the conversations so that the contact list (with user status) can be visible at all times. 6) make the contact list more compact so more users are visible at once.

For any tab or project, remember the last view used, including collapsed or expanded sections. IE, when I leave planner in one channel to check another and come back, I want to see the planner, not the conversations. When I leave and go back to Chat, keep my groups collapsed. When I open planner, I want to open to Tasks, not Activity.

The user interface of Teams is permanently reacting slow to inputs and causes the user to be less productive. When switching between teams, chats and other functions, there is a notable lag after almost every click. This applies for both, the Desktop UI as well as the mobile UI.

Opening an menu or a new chat view doesn't happen instantly, but it takes a moment to render all the views. If you are used to natively developed applications that react instantly to user input, switching to Teams and experiencing a laggy interface is bothersome and frustrating at times.

I would like to see Microsoft set more strict UI performance goals. It is ok to take time to load data (especially when on a slow internet connection). However, every view or menu (even if it's only a loading spinner) should render in 10ms or less.

Sorry but I couldn't find anything in the known issues and quite franckly I was shocked.
Our company have been dealing with a lot of CPU lockups occuring when Teams desktop app has been used and the computer goes to sleep mode.
When waking up, we often see limited CPU usage.
In my case, I can't use more than 34% of the CPU and from what I have been told, this was caused by Teams app leaking a process that we can't see in taskmgr.
Therefore, we can't kill it in any other way than by rebooting.
I have formatted my laptop and reinstalled a working image. IT worked for a week or so.
Then I installed Teams client app again, at some point it updated to latest version and the problem is back again.

This is really anoying since I can't figure any way to avoid it. Even by turning off sleep mode (which drains my battery by the way) it won't allow me to use full CPU after closing the lid on my laptop and moving to another place. (and yes, I have disabled any action on lid closing also)

Please fix this or at least make it a known issue so we can track its progress.

Thanks
